8 saves: Peder Klausen was the team
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 8 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.
Player ratings10 Aug 2026
Both of them Oliver Midtgård's — 8.66
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.66, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Words exchanged at Mjondalen
Mansour Gueye and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.
Match8 Aug 2026
Nobody could stop scoring
6 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Mjondalen and Rosenborg in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.
Match8 Aug 2026
A bad afternoon for Mjondalen against Rosenborg
2‑4 to Rosenborg, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

“The easiest signature of my career.” Markus Ottesen and Mjondalen agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Viking tell Mjondalen: Ola Visted is not for sale
The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

One of our own: Thomas Meling joins the Mjondalen first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Thomas Meling is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Marcus King steps up from the Mjondalen academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Marcus King has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
